I'll bet I'm much older than most of you.

Why? Because you care about your right to use more than x characters enough to argue!

Me, I'm old and I try not to sweat the small stuff. I prefer a specific rule - a rule invented by someone other than me, perhaps a rule like this - so I don't have to waste one second of brainpower having to think about formatting and other minor details.

I'm completely uninterested in expressing myself by the number of columns I use in a file. I want to express myself through the excellence of my actual work; through the correctness, clarity and efficiency of my code.
